Dizzy CAP? Check to see if the rotor blade has a good connection to the teeth in the dizzy cap. Happened to me before or could be the CAS?
Even check the afm plug is in properly??

internal or external?
if it was the fuel pump would it be ok to get a bigger fuel pump n injectors put in and run like that with stock vlt computer?? till i get a aftermarket 1??

theres a way to check both better to ask someone more in the know but you SHOULD be able to here the external pump "whirring" when you turn on the key onto the "ON"
as for bigger fuel stuff you should be able to run stronger pumps like 044 without having to do the injectors

If u put bigger injectors in the car with stock computer it will run rich so u will have to wait until u get after market an get it tuned before u do this. At a guess i would consider lookin at the distributor cap, rotor button in dissy an crank angle sensor (cas) behind the rotor button. Its really common for these to be an issue with the rb30.
ive had my intank stuff up before and it drew thru the external as long as i was goin level or downhill lol
check ur fuses for f.pump and relays for efi etc as well

so if the car was running lean, and he put a bigger external fuel pump and left the internal stock, would that richen up the afrs from say 12.52 to 10 without doing the injectors and just relying on the external fuel pump?
l would say its the dizzy cap teeth that are worn out and not getting a good connection with the rotor shaft.
Have you noticed occasionly the VLT would be hard to start on some mornings?
